So, ....what?
Are we supposed to feel sorry for him? ... do you think our enemies will?
He was raised by his white Grand Parents.
His father abandoned him.
He knows nothing about the ghetto.
He was raised in Hawaii, and then Indonesia.
He is not exactly brave.
So I ask, what exactly about Obama makes him black?

Obama is half black and half white remember, he has ancestors from both sides. And seriously who gives a crap who his ancestors were, or wether hes black or white, it's the person he is that matters, his intentions.
